Chevrolet Corvette (2008)

Manufactured by General Motors, the Chevrolet Corvette is essentially a sports car - or rather, a luxury sports car. The Chevrolet Corvette reaches incredible speeds in relative comfort, and also accommodates two passengers in its extremely comfortable cabin. The car is available as a two door coupe as well as convertible. Introduced in 1953, the Corvette has a performance akin to a Ferrari but available at a reasonably cheap bargain price. The 2008 model is the latest in the series of the Corvette C6, which has been on the road since 2005.

The 2008 model comes equipped with a new LS3 engine – with increased displacement of 6.2 litres and a powerful 430 HP V8 engine. Torque of the car is set 424 lb-ft, which can be increased with the optional performance exhaust. The C6 has a six speed manual transmission with improved shift linkage – the TR6060 replacing the old T-56. The time taken by the car to go from 0 to 60 is a mere 4 seconds. The automatic transmission version of the car gives a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds. Read more
